According to the finest of folks over at that bastion of cogent partisan intellect HawkeyeNation, Babb was a poor signing because he averaged less than a point per game at Arkansas. I'm wondering if they deduced that he did that in 30 minutes of work per game.

Additionally, they have caught wind that we're interested in Noskowiak again and have deduced that he is a criminal, rekindling our interest.

Also, Fred is slipping because the good transfers don't want to come to him any more, and he isn't building his program with freshmen.

I really think we need to get out there and get some Gessels and Woodburys. Get real comfy in round of 32 exits. Do things the right way. Criticize other programs for doing it the wrong way. Sour grapes is always a good look for a fanbase, too. We should work on that.

If Iowa signed the same player (with a different name), same stats, etc, we would say it looks like a horrible pick up.

If you can't crack the top 10 in a rotation, you have to really think outside the box to find the value in this transfer, IMO.

You could try going to Arkansas' basketball forum and reading actual informed fans' opinions. Knowledge is wild stuff.

Who gives a **** and why would you throw it in the one thread that actually sticks to recruiting information.

Deano is licking his chops that we will have a down year in 16-17. There is still time in this transfer season and next. We'll be attractive for playing time and making the post season regularly.

You're working on the sour grapes portion; I like it. Combined with that classy screen name, you're well on your way!

Last I checked, Babb and Noskowiak were basketball recruits. Has that changed? Honestly, I've been out huntin' the squirrel and eatin' the squirrel.

Iowa was among the schools that reached out to him when he decommitted

Here's a video of him. A bit on the small side (5'10"), low release on his shot, good handle, and a nice tear drop in the lane. Still, a 4 Star on ESPN.

If his aortic valve replacement goes good, he may not need the pacemaker at some point. Previous Leakage or regurgitation around the valve required the backup safety device.

A pacemaker is not the same thing as a defibulator. A pacemaker stimulates your heart to pump at regular intervals. A defibulator shocks you if the pacemaker can get you back in rhythm. When I had my pacemaker put in they did what's called an ablation. Severed pathways from bottom to top of heart. If that was done, there is no way to eliminate the pacemaker because that is what causes his heart to beat.
